Microsoft and OpenAI They are working on a supercomputer called Stargate, that would be in charge of artificial intelligence tasks.
Microsoft and OpenAI working on $100 billion AI supercomputer
According to a report by The Informationthe companies Microsoft and OpenAI is collaborating to build a supercomputer to accelerate AI called Stargate. This supercomputer would have an investment of more than 100,000 million dollars.
The idea is to finish this supercomputer Stargate in the year 2028, but not before investing more than 100 billion dollars between equipment and labor.
Microsoft plans to launch several supercomputers over the next 6 years, while Microsoft and OpenAI They are in the middle of a 5-phase supercomputing plan.

With a main focus on AI, this supercomputer will use hardware that is responsible for accelerating these kinds of tasks, although it has not been revealed what type of hardware it will use. One of the most popular solutions today with Nvidia accelerators, such as the recently announced ones B200 “Blackwell”, although by the time this supercomputer is going to be completed, it may have solutions with much higher performance. Some other competitors in the segment are AMD and Intel, which also have and will have their own AI solutions. However, Microsoft will also have its own AI chips, something we’ve already talked about.
Apparently, Microsoft is determined to have supercomputers responsible for accelerating AI for its services in the coming years. We will keep you up to date with all the news.
